Behind the Bar: Nicholson in the Golden Age of Cocktails

Nicholson is featured in 20 cocktail recipes from the golden era of cocktails, circa 1860-1920.

The birth of true cocktail creativity, the golden years were a pivotal time for experimentation, expertise, and refining the cocktail craft.

Renowned mixologists and bartenders such as Harry McElhone, Harry Craddock and Harry Johnson (the trio!), all relied on Nicholson as their gin of choice, quoting the use of Nicholson in their legendary cocktail books. 

From the Hoffman House to the Wet Martini, Nicholson has been at the heart of seminal cocktail making since its inception.
